Benjamin Moore

Plum Perfect

1371

Plum Perfect by Benjamin Moore is a deep plum with cool undertones that lend it a slightly dusty, muted quality rather than a vivid berry tone. With an LRV of 18, it sits in the low-reflectance range and absorbs significant ambient light, making it effective on accent walls, in dining rooms, or in reading areas where a darker envelope is appropriate. Manchester Tan and Golden Straw provide warm, lighter counterpoints, while Mauve Mist and Dark Purple extend the purple range in an analogous direction.

White Dove or Simply White on trim and ceilings supply the necessary brightness contrast.

LRV measures how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (pure white). Below about 50 a color needs good lighting to avoid going flat, 60 and up helps brighten a room, and most whites sit above 80.
